Temporary headquarters have been es-

are very poor. Communication by tele-

estimated. The building was one of the
most imposing in the city. 1t was

BATTLE WITH 4 BURGLAR.
4 Life and Death struggle with "a Rufiian
and His Dagger.
New York World.

DANBURY, Conn, June s.-Samuel \.
Barnum, "A retired business man whose
residence is on West street, was awak-
ened between 3 and 4 o'clock this morn
ing by noise i'm his room. As he opened
his eyes he saw that daylight was ap-
preaching, and at the same instant he saw
"A man standing by his bedside. Mr.. Bar
mum thrust his arm under his pillow,
pretending to feel for pistol, and said (:
''Who are you!'
The intrudo poised a dagger over Mr..
Barnum's head and said:
Hush -
Then the man seized Mr. Barnum's
trousers from a chair and made rush
for the door. Mr. Barnum sprang out of
bed and grappled with the burglar, who
stabbed him twice in the face. ihey
fought the length of the hallway, tear
ing up the carpet and streaking the walls
with blood. Mr.. Barnum got hold of
the burglars throat and threw him.
They fell into the bathroom. After "A
terrific struggle Mr.. Barnum managed
TO get ON the top of his adversary.
The fellow then begged, but Mr.. Barnum
frightened his grip and tried to strangle
him. At this moment the burglar
thrust his dagger into Mr.. Barnum's
shoulder and twisted it around. Mr..
Barnum then shouted for help.
BY this time the whole family were in
the hall. Mrs. Barnum was screaming
and her daughter was frantic with fear.
Arnzi. Mr.. Barnum's son, rushed To his
fathers assistance and they disarmed
the burglar. Miss Barnum went down
stairs and procureda a clothesline, and the
prisoner was tied hand and foot, carried
downstairs and lashed TO the stair rails.
A messenger was sent for Officer Wag-
goner. Arnzi and Mrs. Barnum watch
ing their prisoner and the daughter try
ing To stop the bleeding of her fathers
wounds. He had been stabbed five times
twice i'm the face, twice in the shoYl-
der and once in the foot. The point of
the dagger was broken off i'm the scuffie,
and to this fact, possibly. Mr.. Barnum
owes life. He is still suffering from ex-
citement and loss of blood.
The prisoner was taken to police head
quarters and locked up. He had entered
the house by the kitchen window, re-
moved his shoes and lighted lamp. The
dog. which usually barks at the slightest
noise. was found stupefied with some
drug. The prisoner gave his name as
Joshua Jones, of Boston. In his
pockets was found two empty pocket
books. two pairs of handsome sleeve
buttons, a pair Of nippers, bunch of
skeleton keys and Mr.. Barnum's silk
handkerchief. He seems to be about
nineteen years Of age and has very light
blue eyes. Detective Wade, who travels
with Dir. Barnum's circus, thinks the
prisoner il fellow who has been follow
ing the circus and was of a party of
thieves who were broken up by the
police when the circus was at Pittsfeld.
If he is. he belongs in Philadelphia. He
was bound over to the Superior Court
under 81 900 bonds.
Mr. Barnum retired from business
some years ago, and is very well known
throughout Western Connecticut.

Immediately surmise something is
wrong, but as in all our trials we can
find something to be thankful for, so
with you too-you can say it might
have been worse.
''The dreaded scourge of the Tropics,

tunately your family were the first vic
Tins. Your sisters were both taken sick
ON Tuesday. and MIR. Baker on Thurs
day.
believe me, everything was done for
their comfort, and Every effort made to
save them; but alas. God in his infinite
wisdom has seen fit to take to Himself
Mr.. Baker and your sister Agnes; but
out of the very jaws of death, He has
spared your sister Alice.
MIR. Baker died ON Monday at a. M.
and Mrs Baker at 2 p. m. only a few
hours between their deaths.
Miss Alice, although separated from
them, seemed to know. by instinct, of
their deaths; and notwithstanding the
low state she was in, she bore the double
affection very well. She seems perfectly
resigned, and is anxious to get well.
and unless something very unforeseen
should happen there is every chance of
her recovery. She requested my hus-
band (who was the attending physician)
to write to you; but rs he is the Health
Officer, and at this trying time is very
busy, he delegated-the sad duty to me.
Believe me. my heart bleeds foryou in
this sad atlliction: for l. too, have had to
hear my cross time and again. / have
lost father. mother. sisters and brothers;
and only last year, laid in the grave
my last brother. n young man of twenty
